Job summary

Veeva Systems is seeking a Data Scientist to build models turning multiple healthcare data sources into actionable intelligence about organizations, networks, and decision-makers. Role spans quantitative claims analysis and qualitative inference for org charts and influence mapping.

The position is early, high-latitude with room to shape methods and product, requiring 5+ years in data science and healthcare data experience.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on data science and statistics experience.
• 5+ years working with healthcare data and the US healthcare system.
• Experience with healthcare claims data (medical and/or pharmacy) and the metrics derived from it.
• Experience with healthcare organizational data (HCO/HCP, IDN, GPO, payer).
• Experience developing clinical ontologies or standardized healthcare data models.
• Experience with entity resolution, record linkage, or fuzzy matching on real-world, imperfect data.
• Track record of inferring structure from noisy, incomplete data - cleansing, experiment design, solution assessment, and scaling.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and turning goals into tangible work plans.
• Able to explain statistical and technical concepts to audiences of varying technical depth.

Responsibilities

• Apply statistical and machine learning techniques to healthcare claims and other structured data to build new metrics and methodologies — for example, calculating readmissions and average length of stay across varied claims sources, producing all‑payer estimates, and developing clinical ontologies.
• Transform public financial data into clear signals and a coherent story about the financial health of healthcare organizations
• Build entity resolution and record‑linkage models across health systems, provider organizations, employers, and payers
• Develop affiliation and network mapping — inferring how organizations and people connect, and how influence and reporting structures flow across them
• Infer organizational structure from qualitative signals, building org charts and decision‑maker maps from titles, positions, and role characteristics
• Design data‑sourcing methodologies that evaluate, score, and combine heterogeneous inputs (public filings, web sources, licensed data) into accurate, defensible account signals
• Build the models that power account targeting and segmentation — deciling, patient‑volume and disease‑state signals, strategic filters
• Partner with Product, Data Engineering, Engineering, and QA to take solutions from prototype to production, then iterate and enhance
